Download or read book Selecting a Decision Support System Generator for the Air Force s Enlisted Force Management System written by Robert G. Walker and published by . This book was released on 1986 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Many of the software requirements for a decision support system (DSS) are not specific to an application (e.g., database management and report generation). Developing the software to provide such general capabilities might take more effort than developing the software for the specific application. In order to facilitate the building of the Air Force's Enlisted Force Management System, a general-purpose off-the-shelf software package (called a DSS generator) was acquired in which the specific system models could be embedded. This report explains how the DSS generator was obtained. It presents the objectives that were defined for the generator and the requirements that were derived from these objectives. It then describes the structured evaluation process that led to the ultimate selection."--Rand abstracts
Download or read book Air Force Enlisted Force Management written by Michael Schiefer and published by Rand Corporation. This book was released on 2007-06-21 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fundamental goal of the Air Force personnel system is to ensure that the manpower inventory, by Air Force specialty code and grade, matches requirements. However, there are structural obstacles that impede achieving this goal. To remove one of those obstacles, the authors propose a methodology that would marginally modify grade authorizations within skill levels to make it possible to better achieve manpower targets.

This book was released on 2021-03-02 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The USAir Force human capital management (HCM) system is not easily defined or mapped. It affects virtually every part of the Air Force because workforce policies, procedures, and processes impact all offices and organizations that include Airmen and responsibilities and relationships change regularly. To ensure the readiness of Airmen to fulfill the mission of the Air Force, strategic approaches are developed and issued through guidance and actions of the Office of the Deputy Chief of Staff for Manpower, Personnel and Services and the Office of the Assistant Secretary of the Air Force for Manpower and Reserve Affairs. Strengthening US Air Force Human Capital Management assesses and strengthens the various U.S. Air Force initiatives and programs working to improve person-job match and human capital management in coordinated support of optimal mission capability. This report considers the opportunities and challenges associated with related interests and needs across the USAF HCM system as a whole, and makes recommendations to inform improvements to USAF personnel selection and classification and other critical system components across career trajectories. Strengthening US Air Force Human Capital Management offers the Air Force a strategic approach, across a connected HCM system, to develop 21st century human capital capabilities essential for the success of 21st century Airmen.
Download or read book Differences Between Building a Traditional DSS and an ODSS written by Warren E. Walker and published by . This book was released on 1989 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper discusses the differences between traditional decision-support systems (DSSs), which are designed for a single user and/or a single purpose, and organizational decision-support systems (ODSSs), which are designed for use by people at several workstations in more than one organizational unit. The author draws examples from an ODSS, the Enlisted Force Management System (EFMS), which is being used to help the Air Staff in the Pentagon make decisions related to their enlisted personnel. The EFMS supports decisions about functions that are spread among five organizational units in three locations. The author discusses the differences between the purposes of a traditional DSS and an ODSS, and then highlights the major differences in how they are designed, built, and maintained.
Download or read book Air Force Enlisted Force Management System Interactions and Synchronization Strategies written by and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In September 2004, the active-duty enlisted component of the United States Air Force consisted of about 298,000 airmen. These airmen performed duties in about 200 specialties. Because the relationships between job requirements and personnel management policies are so complex, dedicated enlisted strength managers have never matched the inventory of people, by Air Force Specialty Code (AFSC) and grade, to manpower requirements. There are structural obstacles that impede achieving this goal. The three major independently managed systems the Air Force uses to determine manpower strength currently tend to function in isolation. These systems are as follows: (1) the manpower system, which sets requirements for each grade and AFSC combination; (2) the strength management system, which establishes targets for overall strength, recruiting, retraining, and bonuses; and (3) the enlisted promotion system, which determines the annual number of promotions for each grade in the aggregate and in each AFSC. Because the current organizational structure lacks broad coordinating and control mechanisms, actions taken to control one system often adversely affect another. The authors lay the foundation for a discussion of policy changes that would better synchronize these systems. They propose a methodology that would marginally modify grade authorizations within skill levels to make it possible to better achieve manpower targets. Each specialty would retain the same number of authorizations within each skill level, and the aggregate solution would maintain the same total number of enlisted authorizations by grade. This would help the manpower community follow the policy of equal selection opportunity while also taking personnel management system capabilities into account.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Noncommissioned Officer and Petty Officer BACKBONE of the Armed Forces. Introduction The Backbone of the Armed Forces To be a member of the United States Armed Forces--to wear the uniform of the Nation and the stripes, chevrons, or anchors of the military Services--is to continue a legacy of service, honor, and patriotism that transcends generations. Answering the call to serve is to join the long line of selfless patriots who make up the Profession of Arms. This profession does not belong solely to the United States. It stretches across borders and time to encompass a culture of service, expertise, and, in most cases, patriotism. Today, the Nation's young men and women voluntarily take an oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States and fall into formation with other proud and determined individuals who have answered the call to defend freedom. This splendid legacy, forged in crisis and enriched during times of peace, is deeply rooted in a time-tested warrior ethos. It is inspired by the notion of contributing to something larger, deeper, and more profound than one's own self.

This book was released on 2020-08-09 with total page 101 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modern software engineering practices, pioneered by the commercial software community, have begun transforming Department of Defense (DoD) software development, integration processes, and deployment cycles. DoD must further adopt and adapt these practices across the full defense software life cycle - and this adoption has implications for software maintenance and software sustainment across the U.S. defense community. Air Force Software Sustainment and Maintenance of Weapons Systems evaluates the current state of software sustainment within the U.S. Air Force and recommends changes to the software sustainment enterprise. This report assesses how software that is embedded within weapon platforms is currently sustained within the U.S. Air Force; identifies the unique requirements of software sustainment; develops and recommends a software sustainment work breakdown structure; and identifies the necessary personnel skill sets and core competencies for software sustainment.
